Well done!

Reminds me of broot (https://dystroy.org/broot/).

AntennaPod is a great open source podcast player. It's amazing to see a huge refactoring to reduce package dependency cycles over the past four years.

I'm delighted that I was mentioned twice in the blog post! :-)

Congratulations on this great online game! I enjoyed testing some levels.

For business, I use the Personal Kanban Task Organizer. It has an Outlook integration, so the tasks planned for today show up in my Outlook calendar.

I implemented it as a desktop software, it's available for Linux and Windows, it keeps your personal data on your local computer, no cloud communication, FLOSS.

Could the web of trust approach be a solution?

Possibly, this will give it a boost again.

Would a self-hosted static website be an alternative?

You could use your HTML skills, rent a cheap virtual server with nginx, and buy a web domain. Advantage: You are not dependent on the existence of a free platform provider, so your blog will still exist in 10 years.

Lazarus (https://www.lazarus-ide.org/) has built-in support for the configuration folder ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME) in the user context and in the global context:

GetAppConfigDir() and GetAppConfigFile()

You could contribute to the OpenStreetMap project:

I like to do that when I'm in a new environment and I see missing buildings or missing house numbers, for example.

The article isn't correct in all arguments:

However, you won’t be getting the advanced features like automation or other integration...

Codeberg also has built-in CI support using Woodpecker (ci.codeberg.org). It works very well.

However, if you are interested in a privacy-friendly GitHub alternative from Europe, I suggest you check out Codeberg.

Important to know that Codeberg only allows to host projects with a FLOSS license. So I wouldn't announce it as a GitHub alternative without a further note.

I've had a lot of discussions with developers on this topic. It seems to be difficult for developers to delete code even if it is versioned in Git, so the code is not really lost.

I regularly encourage my teams to delete code that has no use in the near future. Because every line of code in the production environment leads to maintenance effort, so this would save their time.

I had to solve a similar issue in two teams. I'm not against documentation, but this wouldn't have solved the issue in my case. Documentation was available, but you couldn't clearly know if it's still up-to-date or which use case would be the right one.

The solution was to dissolve head monopolies. The best developer in the team was very supportive and tried to solve all problems himself instead of involving his colleagues to make them more independent from him. This was not malicious intent, but just helpfulness oriented to short-term solutions.

So it was a structural cause that could only be solved from outside the team.

tl;dr: humans produce a different odour when under pressure – and dogs can sniff it out

Amazing result

What if you offered multiple (3?) user groups with different storage volumes?

Maybe not modern enough but I like to use Lazarus to create native desktop applications. It compiles to several platforms with a small footprint. It's based on Free Pascal.

For me, Firebug was a game changer in web development. It has set a new standard.

:-D

I most like "Brown's Law Of Tire Sizing":

I use a self-hosted NextCloud instance. I wouldn't consider a commercial cloud for my sensitve data, even if it's encrypted.

Exactly. The abstraction is good to have quick first results.

As soon as it comes to browser-specific issues or very detailed customer requirements you need the flexibility to look behind the abstraction layer. Then, if you do not have the necessary expertise, you are lost.

Thank you for the link. Finally, I now got the difference between hard and soft links. Very interesting and easy to understand!

https://codeberg.org/ (git hosting for free and open source software) uses Woodpecker for its CI. It works quite well.

There is also an app available on F-Droid, see link below. I frequently use it to scan the food on my table and I am surprised sometimes about the good or bad food quality.

https://hnreplies.com/ works very well for me.

Technically, the vault key is stored in several copies, each copy is encrypted by the personal key of a user in the group, or a recovery user to reset the vault key.

Then what is the entire purpose of such services, if their providers still need to be blindly trusted?

Even if the provider doesn't have direct access to the vault key, you have to trust the provider at the moment you access your vault, because the server is controlled by the provider.

Interesting question, thanks for sharing the link.

From article: "To test this claim, she and her team conducted a study in which they gave participants a word-free logic problem to solve, such as a sudoku puzzle or a bit of algebra. Then, the researchers scanned these folks' brains using an fMRI machine as they worked out the puzzle. The researchers found that the regions of the participants' brains associated with language did not light up as they solved the problems; in other words, they were reasoning without words."

You cannot guarantee 100% security, but you can cross-check with best practices if you've done your best. A good source is the OWASP top 10 list of most frequent security flaws:
